Tuition Protest

October 21, 1985

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — Students aren't going to take it -- or pay it -- anymore. Angered by a 7.8 percent increase in tuition, students struck campuses across Israel Sunday, preventing the opening of the academic year. The students stayed away from lecture halls to demonstrate outside of campuses in Tel Aviv, Beersheba, Haifa and Jerusalem. The treasury raised annual tuition from $900 to $1,150.
